Linking with Trifextra : Week Thirty - This weekend we want you to write a 33-word responseusing the name of an animal as a verb.
This challenge was a great learning for me and my family. I enjoyed familiarizing myself with the seemingly new usage. I am posting primarily for the fun of putting this learning to use. I hope you all enjoy reading this short scene too. I tried to create a brother-sister relation here. Fingers totally crossed!
I think you captured the brother-sister relationship very well. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Tessa. That was quick.
DeleteGreat take on the prompt and you managed a whole story, and then some, in 33 words.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such kind words.
Deletemy late grandmother, whom i called Gram, never used the word save when talking about money. It was always "you gotta squirrel away ten percent out of every paycheck".
ReplyDeletegood work
What wise words. Thank you Lance for sharing them here with all of us.
DeleteOh, squirrel. Very nice. Hadn't thought of that one.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kelly.
DeleteOooh, squirrel - that's a great one! I think you captured the relationship as well :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Janna.
DeleteLove how you used your animal verb. I love stories from other's stand, always so creative!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marie.
DeleteNice use of squirrel. My brother could squirrel things away. I was always too impulsive.
ReplyDeleteThank you Brenda.
DeleteClever - both the story and the use of the prompt!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteIt's important to squirrel away many things to keep or save besides money....like memories! Great relationship expressed here.
ReplyDeleteYou said it so well Gina. Thank you so much.
DeleteOriginal, fresh, loved it!
ReplyDeleteThank you. This is very encouraging.
DeleteNice job! You managed a very realistic sister's voice, I think. I love the word squirrel as a verb - I hadn't thought of that one.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Your appreciation is very encouraging.
Deletethis had me chuckling. it reminded me of me and my brothers so many times. even today; you'd think being young adults we would've "grown up", but its sibling love at its finest lol
ReplyDeleteand a squirrel was the perfect animal for this short tale.
I am so happy that this brings happy memories and happy times to your mind. It is good to be a child at heart at times. Thank you so much for all your kind words.
DeleteCaptured the sibling relationship well.
